The Internet of Things. \u00a0IoT.\u00a0 This idea has been floating around blogs and business news for a while now.\u00a0 However, it seems that many people just see it as a buzzword and don\u2019t really understand how to make any sense of it.\u00a0 Well, let\u2019s make it simple for you.\u00a0 Basically, the term<\/a> refers to the idea that more machines will be connected to each other through the internet than people. The Internet of Things is about connectivity that allows tech \u2018things\u2019 to share data without third party (human) interference.<\/p>\n The internet of things is about telecommunications. It\u2019s key tenet is the communication between devices.<\/em><\/p>\n In Microsoft\u2019s March\/April 2015 issue of Chief Executive magazine<\/a>, they say that IoT is really about three processes to improve business and data analysis strategies that already exist: information, knowledge, and wisdom.\u00a0 First, you need the information<\/em> from the particular \u2018thing\u2019 that you are interested in \u2013 data that is created and stored within the technology itself.\u00a0 Then, information turned into knowledge<\/em> of the problem that needs to be addressed.\u00a0 Finally, this knowledge leads to gaining the wisdom<\/em> needed to fix the issue and ensure it never happens again.\u00a0 Maybe IoT is not as complicated as it seem\u2026 In the publication, Barb Edson, general manager, marketing, for Microsoft Cloud & Enterprise, says that it is simply \u201cabout taking a step back and understanding how you want to change your business\u201d.\u00a0 Since massive amounts of data are being generated anyway, IoT technologies will merely simplify this process.<\/p>\n
